This was our second time to stay inside this little gated community and we love it here. Love the big pool with rock waterfalls, lots of loungers, hot tub and the beautiful palm trees. The house was very comfortable for the 11 of us and the kitchen was fully stocked. We will definitely stay here again.

The Crystal Canary was absolutely amazing! Not only was the house so beautiful inside and out and stocked with everything you need, community it is located in is also so wonderful. They have a nice big pool in the middle which was so fun to spend the day at when we didn’t want the beach. The trolley service was also an amazing perk and was very quick to arrive!
As for the Hosts, they were absolutely amazing and incredibly accommodating. They are very responsive and i can tell they take pride in ensuring their guests have a wonderful time. I will be returning over and over and over again! They were simply great!

We stayed at the Crystal Canary for a week and an absolutely loved it. The home is as advertised and had all of the necessary beach items for my 2 year old nephew. Grace and the office staff answered any question we had quickly. It’s also located near a lot of restaurants, grocery stores and as a quick 10 minute walk to the beach on calm streets. I will definitely be looking to stay with them if I’m in the Destin area again.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! My family travels to Destin every year and this has been our absolute FAVORITE home to stay in. It has everything you need from a crib, a crib sheet, to a pack n play, well-positioned outlets to charge your devices at night, lots of extra blankets, spices, and all the dishes/utensils you need to cook a big meal for your family. But that’s not even the best part!! The best part of our trip was having such amazing hosts!! Mariel and Grace were incredible. They were super responsive, helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable stay. My family looks forward to staying here again and again!! Thank you Mariel and Grace ❤️

This place was easy to find, as pictured, and perfect location! The host was professional and prepared, providing a guidebook for the home and nearby attractions. Everything we needed to know was provided to us. The place was clean. Unfortunately, we were only given 3 wash cloths for 12 people and damp towels, but the host responded to our issues quickly and sent a cleaner the next day to give us more items, who was kind and apologetic. The location was near the beach, a quick walk, and close to everything we needed! I definitely recommend staying here. It accommodates a large party perfectly! We didn’t want to leave! Thank you, Grace, for a wonderful experience!

The house is beautiful and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. We loved the pool! The location was perfect, as you are close to the beach and to restaurants and shopping. We definitely hope to return to her home again!

We had a great experience and the home was lovely. Everything about the description was accurate and the manual was very helpful when it came to getting to know the area. Our only compliant was that the community pool was absolutely freezing since the heater was not turned on. Not the home owners fault in any way, but we did wish the HOA would have it on.

We had a wonderful time in Destin at this property. It was very spacious. When we walked in, I knew we picked the right place! It was so clean and bright! It was a short walk to the beach & we had all the beach items we needed from the house to take with us. The beach was beautiful & relaxing. Just what we needed.
Grace was a wonderful host! She answered all of my questions promptly at all hours.
